johnnyzip84 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Where does Akron shake out this week? http://tinyurl.com/6a4acoe I can't argue too much with having the Zips at #6. We'll see very quickly weather Ball St is really #1. IMHO, they've been a sleeping giant for a few years now. Also, here's a correction for you. The Akron-CMU game is on SUNDAY at the JAR.

MDZip Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Where does Akron shake out this week? http://tinyurl.com/6a4acoe It mentions that BG probably has the most favorable crossover schedule, but the Zips and BG both have the top two teams at home (Ball St and WMU), the bottom two on the road (Toledo and EMU) and just flip the middle two (NIU and CMU) so they pretty much have the same advantage in schedule. Man, wasn't it just a few years ago where Toldeo was the best team in the MAC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyzip84 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Man, wasn't it just a few years ago where Toldeo was the best team in the MAC? That's what they get for firing a perfectly good coach in Stan Joplin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hip Zip Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Wow, Miami and Buffalo are my top 2. I honestly think that this might be the Redhawks year. Their trifecta of talent, Mavunga/Ballard/Winbush, is hard to ignore. I have Ball St about 4th and BG nowhere close to the top. Always a fun read though.

That's what they get for firing a perfectly good coach in Stan Joplin. Or for recruiting point shavers. Oh yeah, and I thought everyone on here thought OU was the best team in the conference? What happened to that, and how "great" they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Oh yeah, and I thought everyone on here thought OU was the best team in the conference? What happened to that, and how "great" they are? They have on less win than the Zips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave in Green Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 ..... Oh yeah, and I thought everyone on here thought OU was the best team in the conference? What happened to that, and how "great" they are? Some combination of OU's greatness and UA's lack of greatness allowed the Bobkitties to not just beat the Zips but embarass them on their own home floor. When the Zips lost two more games in a row following the OU loss, I readjusted my assessment of both teams. OU is not as great as they looked against the Zips, and the Zips are underperforming their capabilities as a team. If nothing changes, the Zips would not be able to get past the Bobkitties in this season's MAC tournament. I have my fingers crossed that the Zips will wake up and discover themselves long before the MAC tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what they get for firing a perfectly good coach in Stan Joplin. Or for recruiting point shavers. Point taken, although it’s debatable how much blame Joplin deserved for a problem that started with the football program, then permeated the UT athletic department. And, technically, he recruited players who would later go on to become point shavers. Besides if you listen to most Rocket fans, Stan was fired primarily for having a mediocre record and not getting enough butts in the seats.

That's the bottom line. Like Toledo in years past, OU is a really bad match up for the Zips. Zips fans should pray we don't see OU in the tourney. And - I predict OU will win a home game this season.

Probably, though Toledo Tom had the very same problem with the football team. The gamblers in Detroit found more than a couple fellows on the Toledo campus who were willing to lay down for the cause. Tom managed to hold on for a couple more years but when the losses started to pile up he was gone as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to that, and how "great" they are? I'm not so sure that I'd launch a "I told you OU wasn't good" debate when they just beat the crap out of us. I was one of the people who said that they may just be a bad matchup for us. But, they probably still find it comical that Akron fans would cut on them considering our recent performances against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
